Wonderful house and location. The guys loved that they could walk to the beach easily with all their fishing gear. Great beach… Lots of restaurants nearby. Publix supermarket 10 minute drive. I have rented on Oak Island many times- by far this house and location is wonderful ! Already looking at schedule to book again!

We were so happy to return to Reel Serenity for our second time! This is one of our favorite beach houses we've ever stayed in! It is so close to the beach, the views are amazing, and the house is equipped with everything we needed for our stay and more! The added beach amenities and the game room were perfect for us! We brought our kayaks and took them less than 1 minute from the house to the public boat launch. It was beautiful, and the waters were so calm. We were able to paddle down the Montgomery Slough into the ICW in no time! Jessica is a great host and very responsive. She made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, gave lots of recommendations for places to visit on the island, and even reached out to make sure we were having a good time. This house is in the perfect location, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway, we will definitely be coming back again!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beach house. It felt like the perfect choice for our girls’ trip. The house was spotless, comfortable, and well organized that we instantly felt at home. The location couldn’t be better. It’s just a short walk to the beach, which made it easy for all of us to spend time by the water without having to plan or pack for a long day. We loved being able to spend afternoons in the sand, and still pop back to the house whenever we wanted. The layout of the house was ideal for our group. There weren’t many stairs, which was especially important for us as senior women. The bedrooms gave everyone their own space, and the common areas were perfect although we spent hours together on the screened in porch. Being close to Southport was another huge bonus. We loved exploring the charming shops and dining on fresh seafood. This house gave us exactly what we wanted: comfort, convenience, stunning views of both ocean and intercoastal. WE WILL RETURN!!

Go ahead and book this beautiful beach home you will not regret it. The beds are comfy the rooms are perfect and the kitchen has everything you need and so much more. The owner has a gift box of goodies and stuff and the cookware everything else is so convenient and makes it the perfect kitchen . She literally has thought of everything. The beach is just like she says a short walk. She has lots of beach items including a beach buggy. Coming back from the beach and showering outside and then later hanging out outside with the kids and playing pool was wonderful. The game room is great and has a fridge and an ICE MACHINE !! The screened in porch was also a relaxing place to hang out and nice to feel the breeze from the ocean. We were a party of 3 couples along with 2 teenagers and a toddler 18 months old. We also had our daughters dog with us for 2 nights. The owner is very quick to respond to texts and is very concerned and caring . Best vacation home!

I can’t say enough great things about the property and Jessica, the host. This was our first time on Oak Island and after such an amazing trip, both families agreed we need it to become a tradition, staying at the same house. Based on the amount of effort put into this property and attention to detail, it’s evident that Jessica wants visitors stay at the property to be memorable. Can’t wait for next year!

Jessica’s place was perfect! We brought our 15mo baby and it had everything we needed- pack n play, high chair, lots of toys. It’s a super quick walk to the beach and it also came with everything we needed. The house was beautiful, beds comfortable, and the rooftop deck was a fun bonus!
